Introduction
This suite of programs will describe and demonstrate how to generate programs that will convert between various file structures with record content that includes text strings and numeric values using field formats such as Binary, Packed Decimal and Zoned Decimal and accumulate summary totals to ensure numeric integrity is maintained.
This document will focus on how to generate programs (or COBOL source code) and is 1 of 5 documents from the following list.
The following is a list of the five (5) documents included in this model for data management functions of non-relational data structures. The functions include data conversion (file structure and record content), record presentation in hexadecimal format with possible ASCII and EBCDIC character translations and the accumulation of summary totals with record counts.
Explore the ASCII and EBCDIC data conversion techniques for a file that contains text strings and numeric fields of various formats such as BINARY, PACKED-Decimal and ZONED-Decimal. A Mainframe System and the COBOL programming language supports a variety of different numeric formats that will be discussed in this document.
Explore how to create hexadecimal dump information of the records in a sequential file. The records may contain text strings and numeric fields of various formats such as BINARY, PACKED-Decimal and ZONED-Decimal. In addition to the Hex-Dump information the possible ASCII and EBCDIC character will be identified.
Explore how to accumulate summary totals for currency or numeric fields that are defined (or formatted) as Binary, Packed Decimal or Zoned Decimal. The record count is included as one of the summary totals.
Explore how to create a file that contains text and binary data. This document describes a model for creating a record sequential file that contains text strings that use EBCDIC or ASCII encoding and various numeric formats such as BINARY, PACKED-Decimal and ZONED-Decimal. This model has the capability of creating a test file for an ASCII or EBCDIC encoded environment. This document will address many of the challenges of doing a record content conversion of a file that will be transferred between an EBCDIC-encoded Mainframe System and an ASCII-encoded Linux, UNIX or Windows System.
Explore how to generate programs (or COBOL source code) to perform various data management functions for non-relational data structures. The functions described in this document include data conversion (file structure and record content), hexadecimal dumps and summary totals accumulation.
We have made a significant effort to ensure the documents and software technologies are correct and accurate. We reserve the right to make changes without notice at any time. The function delivered in this version is based upon the enhancement requests from a specific group of users. The intent is to provide changes as the need arises and in a timeframe that is dependent upon the availability of resources.

Create a Test File
The objective is to be able to use a text editor of choice to define the data content and then use this information to create a User Test File that contains records that contain text strings (or Fields) and numeric fields that use a BINARY, PACKED-Decimal or ZONED Decimal format.
Create a Primary Test File
The following Process Control File (MKN01K08.pcf) will be used to generate a program that will convert multiple 80-byte text strings into a single, 1024-byte text string using a Comma-Separated-Values (CSV) format.

File Conversion
The primary objective of this suite of programs is to do data conversion between EBCDIC and ASCII and maintain mainframe numeric integrity.
The Primary Test Files are then read and converted to a Fixed-Field-Length (FFL) format using a BINARY, PACKED or ZONED-Decimal format.
The conversion programs are generated using input from a Process Control File (PCF) and a COBOL Copy File (CPY). The following link provides additional information about generating the conversion programs.
Explore How to Generate a Data File Convert Program using simple specification statements in a Process Control File (PCF). This link to the User Guide includes the information necessary to create a Process Control File and generate the COBOL programs that will do the actual data file conversion.

Company Overview
SimoTime Technologies was founded in 1987 and is a privately owned company. We specialize in the creation and deployment of business applications using new or existing technologies and services. We have a team of individuals that understand the broad range of technologies being used in today's environments. Our customers include small businesses using Internet technologies to corporations using very large mainframe systems.
Quite often, to reach larger markets or provide a higher level of service to existing customers it requires the newer Internet technologies to work in a complementary manner with existing corporate mainframe systems. We specialize in preparing applications and the associated data that are currently residing on a single platform to be distributed across a variety of platforms.
Preparing the application programs will require the transfer of source members that will be compiled and deployed on the target platform. The data will need to be transferred between the systems and may need to be converted and validated at various stages within the process. SimoTime has the technology, services and experience to assist in the application and data management tasks involved with doing business in a multi-system environment.
Whether you want to use the Internet to expand into new market segments or as a delivery vehicle for existing business functions simply give us a call or check the web site at http://www.simotime.com
